Los Angeles Deputy DA Renee Rose made the stunning assertion during a preliminary hearing against Smith’s lawyer and two doctors, who are charged with conspiring to illegally supply drugs to the late model.

“There was a sexual relationship that happened in the past and possibly carrying into the future. It was the motive for Dr. Eroshevich to provide excessive medication to Anna Nicole Smith,” Rose told the court.

“There are ulterior motives for Dr. Eroshevich’s actions. That medicine keeps her addicted, so Dr. Eroshevich becomes the most important person in her life. She keeps her addicted.”
